Bøger af Larry J Hausner

Michael Hamilton wants to escape the memories of the horrors of the orphanage he was raised in, the battlefields of World War ll, and a marriage to a heartless woman. Alicia Conroy desperately wants to find a way out of a life of torment and anguish. When the two fall in love after a chance meeting, it becomes clear that if they are to escape their nightmares and be together, someone must die. It will be a gift of death.

It's 1961 and Omaha, Nebraska, has little to offer Larry Hanson and his friends Johnny DeBarco and Ray Agostini but bad luck and misery. Then Larry stumbles into a Mafia plot to rip off $10 million from the U.S. government and the three hatch a plot to steal it from the Mafia. It turns out stealing it was the easy part...keeping it will take more guts than brains and a whole lot of luck.

Lance Hargrove, dead broke with no prospects in 1957, knows he's taking a chance when he steals $12,000 from an Omaha bookie. When he gets away with it, as far as he's concerned, he's caught lightning in a jug. Little does he know that the one act will take him on a decades-long odyssey that includes an unlikely association with a Mafia boss, heading a Las Vegas casino, and ultimately the White House.
